Hotspots and charging stations

Bring a digital camera, a pen (or pencil), and a pocket book. Problem solved.

I would kill for some of those vibrating chairs at PJ20 that you feed a few dollars into for a nice massage. Imagine chilling in the expo as you get a nice massage and listen to PJ off in the distance!

How does a pocket book and a pen help me find someone? Do I write messages and leave them scattered around?

Has nothing to do with that. Asking for a place to plug in a phone and possibly having wifi hotspots is not the end of the world. I can't understand why anyone would be opposed to it. Ticket prices are already established and the worst that could happen is they charge members who want these services extra. We know they aren't opposed to charging extra for anything. You don't want them, don't buy it. There really is no logical argument against asking for this. The technology is out there why not use it?

I agree with you completely. I guess we're the odd balls out who enjoy doing that kind of thing. I got quite a few friends that will have to stay back at home. I'd like to be able to send them a text with a cool picture in it here or there, or god forbid post a picture on Twitter or Facebook. If that makes me a loser, so be it. I want to be able to do those things but I also do need to maintain a charge in case somebody from back home needs to call me about my kids. Obviously the kids are more important and if I can't do both then I won't, but a charging station is an answer to be able to do both.

Thanks but I can plug my phone into my rental as well, but rememember there is no re-entrance. Once you're in you're in.

Another great point about the family home. I just don't think I'm being unreasonable with this request. It's not like I'm asking for a venue change or an extra Ten Club ticket. The demand is there Ten Club. Please provide us with that service.

An outlet isn't an unreasonable request. Hotspot pushing it.

Can't you just make sure you're fully charged and turn off all of your battery draining features beforehand? I don't see how maining a charge for 12 hours is that difficult.

You could write the meeting point in it that is decided among the group incase someone gets lost.

Sh1t my fiance is misssing. Lets all go to the meeting place instead of phone call. Perfect sense. We have the technolgy these days to do this. Really no downside.
